“This edited volume helps us imagine a more complicated paradigm that moves homophobia beyond the interpersonal and irrational to a place of collective and deliberative debate and interlocking systems of oppression. It unpacks the limits of universalizing the meaning of homophobia and examines the baggage of particular cross-cultural cases where homophobia means something far more than we typically give it credit. It’s a must-read for anyone who feels that the term homophobia has spent its intellectual purchase and wants to consider how we can move past the idiosyncratic to a systemic analysis of what one of the authors calls an “anthropology of hate.””
